When organisations have good health and safety practices, everyone wins. Employees are less likely to get injured and the public are better protected from work activities that might harm them. Employers are less likely to find themselves fined or prosecuted.

Good employee training is a key component of a safe, healthy workplace culture. After all, it’s impossible for employees to follow procedures and rules they haven’t been taught about!

In this course, you’ll collect personal protection equipment badges by identifying employee and employer responsibilities relating to health and safety, and by identifying poor health and safety practice in the workplace.

Learning objectives

• Employers’ responsibilities to their workers
• Employees’ responsibilities in health and safety
• The causes of workplace accidents

• The importance of workplace risk assessments

These ‘Challenge’ courses test the learner’s ability to make the right choices for themselves.
